Devlin, Brianna; Jordan, Nancy; Klein, Alice – Grantee Submission, 2021
This study investigated the relative importance of three subdomains of early number competence (number, number relations, and number operations) in predicting later mathematics achievement in cross-sequential samples of pre-K, kindergarten (K), and first graders (N=150 at each grade). OLS-regression analyses showed that each subdomain predicted…

Williamson, Vickie M.; Walker, Deborah Rush; Chuu, Eric; Broadway, Susan; Mamiya, Blain; Powell, Cynthia B.; Shelton, G. Robert; Weber, Rebecca; Dabney, Alan R.; Mason, Diana – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2020
First-semester general chemistry is a known "gatekeeper" course due to its high failure rate. These higher education courses are taken by students who for the most part are regularly admitted freshmen, yet many struggle to succeed. In this investigation researchers from six higher-education institutions of varied sizes with student…

Tuire Koponen; Tuija Aro; Markku Leskinen; Pilvi Peura; Helena Viholainen; Mikko Aro – Journal of Experimental Education, 2024
We examined the associations of cognitive skills, math-related emotions and beliefs, and gender with responses to an arithmetic fluency intervention. Elementary school children with dysfluent arithmetic skills (N=69) participated in an arithmetic fluency intervention (with and without self-efficacy support) implemented in small groups in schools…

Powell, Sarah R.; Kearns, Devin M.; Driver, Melissa K. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2016
Children in the elementary grades are expected to solve equations to demonstrate prealgebraic proficiency. Prealgebraic differences may emerge based equation type (i.e., standard vs. nonstandard), the operation shown or required for solution (i.e., addition or subtraction), and the position of the unknown. Prealgebraic differences may also be…

Boyle, Robert W.; Farreras, Ingrid G. – International Journal of Research in Education and Science, 2015
This experiment tested the effect that calculator use had on 200 randomly assigned college students' mathematical performance. The purposes of the current experiment were twofold: to measure the level of mathematical preparation of current college students, and to test whether calculators improve mathematical performance in such students as it…

de Bilde, Jerissa; Boonen, Tinneke; Speybroeck, Sara; De Fraine, Bieke; Van Damme, Jan; Goos, Mieke – Elementary School Journal, 2015
Experiential education is a child-centered educational framework that is popular in Flemish kindergartens. In this study, the impact of five experiential practices (autonomy support, stimulation, emotional support, time for choice activities, and interest-based activities) and the moderating influence of initial achievement (language and…
